Fishing around throne of elements seemed to give a 30% drop rate (same for the petfood grill and mudfish) and the skill requirement is lowest there.Trade your Figluster Mudfish with a Physical DPS class, encourage them to either fish as well or farm Chunk o' Basilisk.

when I reached 445 total (350 base + 20 rod +75 lure), I could catch these at the Elemental Plateau. I'm pretty sure thats the lowest.

I disagree with Alegis, plenty of pools in Skysong Lake.

Even if you're only interested in say, Bluefish, fish the Mudfish pools as well so when the new pool spawns, there's a chance it'll be a Bluefish pool. Surplus Mudfish sells on AH for about the same amount as Bluefish, so you can buy the Bluefish if you're short of getting a full stack.

According to this guide, Nagrand generally requires 380-395 to cast and 475-490 for a certain catch.

According to another website that I've read, the skill required for 100% catch rate in all of Nagrand is 475. I can't confirm this but it seems that with my 470 I'm still catching 100% of the time in Elemental Plateau.

With the advent of addons like Fishing Buddy that lets you just stand there and double right click to cast, and detects whether you need a lure, applies one automatically if you do, and then casts the next time you double right click, AND casts only inside the circle for the spawn when you are fishing specific pools, it's well worth it to fish the spawned pools.

The simple way to make sure fish don't get away from you is to take the minimum fishing skill of a zone and add 95 that way fish wont get away. For Nagrand that would be 380+95=475And for Sunspring Lake (and maybe others) it's 395+95=490

If horde, go to Garadar, but be sure to be fishing in Skysong Lake. With 305 skill +100Lure (405 total) you can get a high number of succesful catches.

just decided to sit down in nagrand, with no fishing skill...have gone from 0 to 50 and pulling out icefin blue's and the figlusters

Comment by houston

(patch 3.3.5a)right behind the big village theres a huge lake. just look for a school of bluefin fish and fish there. dont forget to add fishing enhancments to your fishing poles if your fishing skill is low.

must have really loosened up restrictions since 5.2, as I've been catching Icefin Bluefish and mudfish in Skysong Lake and my fishing skill was only 175 when I started
